    Well, as a Cavs fan, I can tell you that the new draft lottery rules suck, because they finished with the worst record two straight years and both times it landed them the No. 5 pick. Although, it's hard to complain because I've seen four No. 1 picks in the past 18 years, haha.

    But, I do agree with your overall sentiment, and something I argue with Cavs fans and friends of mine all the time. At some point, you need to start building a winning culture. Tanking is fine for a year or two, but after a while it becomes dangerous. Building a losing culture is extremely hard to overcome and the players you're drafting/bringing in eventually won't want to be there - or worse, develop losing/bad habits. And winning the draft lottery is often more to do with luck anyway, than it is because you tanked.

    Now that Embiids MVP chances are likely over I wouldn’t hate to see him 3peat

    Embiid’s injury absolutely opens that window for a 3-peat wide open
     
  17. Nah the NBA media won’t allow it

    it’s Lebron’s award to lose

  20. “Voter fatigue” blah blah blah will be why Giannis doesn’t win it again.

    LeBron will have the push. Denver needs the better record for Jokic to win it.
     
  21. Yeah the media gonna give Lebron the MVP as a lifetime achievement award
